Company History
Cascade Contracting was formed in 2000 by Dennis Morrison and Adam Reed. Everyone said not to go into business with your best friend but for these guys it worked. In the early years the two of use built decks and fences together. As we grew into remodeling we began to hire craftsman with a higher set of carpentry skills. Adam moved into the office roll and Dennis ran the crew. We moved into our first shop in Multnomah Village in 2005. Seeing the need to add a custom cabinet shop we quickly outgrew the space. In 2006 we found a new home on Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. In 2008 an opportunity opened up on Macadam in Johns Landing. The exposure and room to spread our wings has been a great foundation for the company.
We have a unique dedication to our clients that is not paralleled by many contractors. We understand that remodeling can be a disruptive and challenging event for clients to go through. We try to curb those fears by communicating with the clients every step of the way. Most of our employees have worked for us for more than 5 years. Having a contractor invade your house everyday for sometimes multiple months can be a challenge. We have longtime relationships with our subcontractors and many of them are the actual proprietor of the business. Seeing the same faces and knowing you have the owner of the business onsite can be very comforting. All our employees and subcontractors are polite and very personable. We routinely are told by the client and the end of a project that they are going to miss seeing the guys every day.
Cascade Contracting does very little advertising. 90% of our business comes directly from word of mouth and referrals from past clients. We know our advertising will come from the quality of our work and thus we put every effort into each project to ensure that everyone who sees it is impressed by the detail and craftsmanship they see. We look forward to hearing from you about your potential project and being able to show you how Cascade can make it a special experience for you.
Adam Reed, Owner
Adam’s dad was a lifelong project Manager for Hoffman construction. Growing up and getting to watch his father build multimillion dollar iconic buildings such as Doernbecher Children’s hospital, the Convention Center and Nike’s Tiger Woods building gave Adam the bug to build early on. Coupled with his mother’s artistic side and his father’s engineering skills, the remodeling world was a great fit, allowing him to be creative with design but still have a solid understanding of the structural components necessary for a project. After graduating From Oregon State with a degree in Construction Engineering Management, Adam set out to build.
“My dad was extremely proud of the buildings he built and loved to show them off. I have that same pride in the work that Dennis and I do with Cascade Contracting and I whole heartily enjoy running into past clients and hear how they still love the work we did for them and how they enjoy work with us”
Dennis Morrision, Owner
Dennis is a lifelong Oregonian and enjoys being active. He honed his construction skills from the trenches on up. Never thinking twice about how difficult or dirty a job was, he would always do what it took to get it done. Dennis now manages the day to day operations on the jobsite, working directly with our craftsman and clients to ensure the build and communication go smoothly. Clients appreciate Dennis’ philosophy of always going that extra step to make sure they are comfortable during the project and are always in the know about what’s around the corner.
